- Ancient Sea Route by INSV Kaundinya is an initiative to recreate the ancient maritime trade route.
- INSV Kaundinya is preparing for a historic voyage from India to Muscat.
- It is a hand-stitched wooden replica of a 5th-century Indian merchant ship.
- The ship is built using coconut husk rope, fish oil, and natural tree resin, with no modern structural materials.
- It was constructed at Divar Island in Goa based on ship depictions from the Ajanta cave paintings.
- The voyage will sail from Porbandar, Gujarat, to Muscat, Oman, retracing ancient maritime trade links.
